Those kids are gorgeous and adorable...If i have my own children when i grow up, i would cherish and caress them with lots of love because i know every kids are adorable and no matter how naughty they are, they are still very sweet and loving. These children needed more help than others...so we must do our best to help them, because we love them :D

My nephew has been diagnosed with Microcephaly and all I can say is that I love that little boy like there is no tomorrow. He is so happy and full of life - he is my heart! I don't care what he looks like and I certainly don't care what anyone thinks about him - because he is so precious and my heart aches each time I see anyone mistreating a child for being 'different'. It breaks my heart because I want to protect him at all costs - but still allow him to grow and enjoy life. He teaches me!
